love story

I love you too, babe. Yeah I did, don’t worry.

Okay, good. How do you think the date's going?

But you love me. Mhm, it is.

Yes, yes I do. Did you pause the movie?

Sophia raised an eyebrow. “’All these years’?” She asked curiously, looking at Joss. “How long have you been single for?” She couldn’t help but find it surprising that Joss has been single for what she made seem like a while. “That actually sounds pretty cute,” she told her, then took a sip of her water. “Yeah… I make no promises on the whole bodily harm thing, but thanks,” she blushed at Joss’ indirect compliment, shaking her head slightly. “You’ll find I have many faults, it’s what makes me so charming,” she joked with a light laugh. It was easy to joke around and make small talk with Joss, it didn’t feel forced or uncomfortable which she was really enjoying so far. She laughed at Joss’ analogy for Callie. “I can’t believe you just said that. But she’s definitely… something,” she agreed. “She and Callie are pretty smitten and Callie’s already made her fair share of mistakes, I think she’s learned from them. But I’ll do my best to keep her in check, Rose means a lot to me too.” She smiled brightly at Joss.

"I've been single for... A while, I guess. Quite a while, which I didn't mind, but sometimes I just kinda want someone around for things, someone that's mine... Cheesy, I know, but I definitely do want it sometimes." Joss admits with a little smile on her face. There's every chance that this can still go horribly wrong, but she's okay with being blindly optimistic. "I can be cute." She shrugs and chuckles at Sophia's response to the bodily harm thing. "Maybe we'll just have to wrap you in bubble wrap to keep you safe." She wiggles her eyebrows and laughs. She shrugs, looking away for a moment with a little smile. "I have a habit of shocking people into liking me, is it working?" She raises an eyebrow, but can only hold it for a moment and scrunches her nose in laughter. "I trust that Callie won't let her down, considering that they've managed to stay together for a while, but I always have my worries y'know?" She giggled. "You realise you just told me to stop complimenting you after you just complimented me?" 

What?

You're ridiculous. And this food is good.

Food is pretty amazing, but I love you more and I’d rather eat you than food… and you know, not in the cannibalism way.

Oh my god.

Oh come on babe, don’t be mad. You know I love kissing you. Among other things.

When you say among other things are you talking about the fact you like food as much as you like me?

What? Food is important.

Obviously more so than kissing your girlfriend. Give me the damn food.

Mhm. Was that the doorbell? I should go get it.

You love me.

Very, very much.

Just shut up and kiss me.

Meanie.

Now you know exactly what you’re doing.

Hm?

Mhm…. I’m not looking at you like anything. Okay. My body is ready.

You know exactly what you're doing, Callie. Come 'ere.

Oh yeah? So are you a really a bad girl then? Yay! We should have a mini marathon then. Okay, food’s on the way. I’ll grab the blanket.

No. Maybe. I don't know. Stop looking at me like that. I'll grab the second one as well then. Awesome. Prepare to get cuddled.

You make me dorkier. Yeah, I’m pretty sure we do. But if not we could always just watch it on my Netflix account. Meet you in the living room in ten.

I bring out the real you, obviously. Just like how you make good girls go bad. Nope, we have it, like I said, it was next to The Princess Diaries 2. Bring a blanket! You know the nice one we bought like, a month ago.

Sophia grinned. “An occasionally half-priced bagel, huh? You really know how to make a girl feel special, don’t you?” She chuckled, shaking her head as Joss winked at her. “Do I get a smiley face beside my name on my cup too?” She asked, then raised an eyebrow at Joss’ comment about her being a cop. “First of all, I’m too clumsy and accident-prone to ever be a cop and second of all, hopefully we’d still be talking in ‘however many years’ time’. I mean even if we don’t get… involved romantically, you seem pretty cool so far and I’d still want to be friends with you,” she told her honestly. “But you have a deal- if you turn out to be right, I’ll definitely buy you a drink, or something,” she told her and crinkled her nose. Truth be told, she’d probably be willing to buy Joss a drink anytime (once she was legal), seeing as the date was going pretty well so far. She nodded in agreement as Joss answered her question about whether or not she liked Callie. “Callie’s definitely… something. They do make a good couple, I’m happy for them.” She laughed a little. “Yeah, I know what you mean.” She agreed. When she noticed Joss blushing, she couldn’t help but smile as a feeling that resembled accomplishment filled her.

"Oh yeah, it's the reason I've been single all these years, people just can't handle how great I treat them, half-priced bagels, sometimes I make mini movies of the people I like and post them on Instagram, y'know, the usual." Joss winks, half kidding. She's done it before. Nodding at Sophia's explanation of being clumsy and accident prone, she chuckles. "As long as I don't endure bodily harm from you being accident prone, I don't mind so much if you are. Besides, you have to have some faults, don't you?" She giggles at the kind of indirect compliment she gives. "I'll hold you to that." She tells her, crossing her ankles again and really feeling comfortable around the girl. It wasn't like they'd known each other for years, like she thought she needed. It was nice to just... Discover someone bit by bit. So far, Joss liked what she'd found out about Sophia, and she assumed this would only continue. "Callie's the type of person who grows on you, kinda like a rash.. But more favourable." She giggled, confused at her own choice of words. "She just better treat Rosemary right or I'll totally kick her butt." Joss was half kidding.

Sure you were. Oh, shush. You love it. Hmmm, how about Princess Diaries? And Chinese food is always a good choice. I’ll go order some to get delivered to us.

I do, I don't deny that, but you're still a dork. Princess Diaries, huh? We have that on DVD somewhere don't we? I distinctly remember one of us having it. I'll check the cupboard. Okay, good.

A little, but I mean you were the one who invited me to your room to ‘distract’ you, so… And yes, I did. I make them good girls go bad. I’m still with you for a lot of reasons, but those are two of them, yes. I love you too.

I was very confused at that point, and you can't blame me! I was in a house full of pretty girls. I can't believe you just said that, you're such a dork. So, Superman, what movie do you wanna watch? I think I want Chinese food.
